The Drayton

— Savannah

Housed in one of Savannah’s oldest buildings on the city’s famed riverfront, The Drayton is a petite 50-room accommodation that oozes warmth and charm. Owner Raghav Sapra led the restoration project in collaboration with New York-based firm nemaworkshop, and both had the vision to celebrate Savannah’s heritage, identity and culture throughout. The Drayton evokes familiarity, comfort and tropical chic, with herringbone flooring, oak panelling, rattan, bold colours and artworks that channel a sense of Southern hospitality and the building’s 19th-century roots. Enhancing this social element are characterful drinking and dining options like Saint Neo’s Brasserie, the Drayton Coffee Bar, the Downstairs Cocktail Lounge and a rooftop bar.
